Back in '08 I thought people like Jennifer Granholm or Brian Schweitzer were great prospects for 2016, so I agree that whoever emerges in 2020 will probably be someone we never heard of; or Abuela will give it another go.

I think that says more about you, than the election, seeing as Jennifer Granholm was born in Canada to Canadian parents.

ok but seriously, if we're talking about controversial celebrities with outsized personalities, have we considered bill maher

He's def not a progressive hero or whatever but he has a decent shot of beating Trump at his own game IMO

I personally respect her decision not to choose a side but in what universe does a politician who is not a DNC staffer endorsing a presidential candidate constitute "putting their thumb on the scales" :psyduck:

none of this bothers me but basically if before the election you want to tout that Trump is really really bad then after say you are willing to work with him, well you are full of poo poo.

my beef is they are cowards and won't stick to their guns when push comes to shove.

sanders and warren said basically the same thing - that they'd work with trump on things like an infrastructure bill, but they're not gonna back building a wall or any of that other poo poo.

i really am not worried that warren will not stick to her guns. i mean, she delayed obama appointments that she thought were too close to the banks.

Is that a joke? 50% of liberals hate Bill Maher, and 100% of conservatives despise him. You'd have a better chance with running Seth Myers or Jon Stewart.

I mean, if we're going with "whatever Trump did worked and whatever Clinton did didn't", running an rear end in a top hat billionaire would seem to be the best shot.

Trump got less votes than Romney, trump didn't win the election, Hillary lost it by loving it up on drat near every level. Yes trump did do some things right, but to copy everything he did is lazy and will accomish nothing.

People hate Bill Maher because he's a smug turd, and if he tried exercising his liberal superiority complex on a campaign stage people will reflexively vote against him.

Trump received more votes than Romney. There were a wave of lovely articles making wild claims about votes and turnout. Most of the authors forgot that absentee ballots are still being counted because they are incompetent hacks.

Lieberman didn't go anywhere in '04, I envision Kaine-mentum going as far in '20.

I was half-joking about Hillary '20, but she'll be what, the same age Bernie is now more or less? And coming off a 2 million+ popular vote victory? I could see some type of rematch narrative taking hold. She does look pretty good for her ago too. :smith:
